Using RESTEasy with EAP 5.1.0 I get exception saying resource could not be found

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 5.1.0
  • RESTEasy 1.2

Issue

We followed the steps in the user guide [1], but always get the same error when implementing a REST-based webservice using RESTEasy.

Resolution

In your web.xml move the Application param to a context-param. EAP version does not support javax.ws.rs.core.Application as a servlet init-param. This has been fixed in later version of RESTEasy.

Remove from <servlet> section of the web.xml

<init-param>
    <param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
    <param-value>org.jboss.support.webservice.AppName</param-value>
</init-param>

Add to top of web.xml

<context-param>

            <param-name>javax.ws.rs.core.Application</param-name>

            <param-value>org.jboss.support.webservice.AppName</param-value>

</context-param>
